RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No. 2, Paganini Rhapsody

"Jean-Yves Thibaudet's 1994-1996 recordings of Rachmaninoff's four concertos and Paganini Rhapsody are among the finest ever made of this music, and it is surprising London didn't keep them in the catalog longer. ...Ashkenazy provides the finest accompaniment imaginable. Ashkenazy, who recorded this concerto as soloist with André Previn, Eugene Ormandy and Bernard Haitink, emphasizes rhythmic accents—trumpet statements are incisive and add much to the excitement. If you love Rachmaninoff, you should have these performances." --Classical CD Review
